Tips before you book
- Save a few looks from our nail ideas before your visit so you and your tech are on the same page.
- Nail art, extra length and some shapes cost more than the base price, so ask for the full price before your tech starts.
- If you get gel often, give your nails a short break now and then. The free Nail Health Checker helps if they feel weak or peel.
- Metal tools should come out of a sealed pouch, and files and buffers should be new for each client.
